Hi,
For those interested in sorting registers ...
OK, I am very interesting. Now I set aside some time to help with Cz part.

I looked at it. Seems that basic sorting rules can be set by macro, more
difficult by Rubu module, right? Let start with macro.
I derrived test file from your example. The only difference is that I
replace \ccaron by č in IL2 and put \enableregime[IL2] to very
beginning. Seems such char is not recognized by sorting rules. What is
wrong?
I see there are 4 macros. I guess their meaning:
\exportsortrule {zacron}{z+1} ... replaces two lines:
\exportsortexpansion {ccaron} {cz} ... char to string replacement
\exportsortdivision {cz} {ccaron} ... reverse
\exportsortreduction{ch}{c} ... second pass replacement ???
if I want 'ch' be sorted between 'h' and 'i' so I do

Thanks for all who helped me, but I finaly solved the problem. I define
glyphs for the characters I want like that
\definesymbol [thorn] [\getglyph{frumbr}{\char254}]
and then simply use \symbol[thorn] in the text ...
Looking back I have to say that it's done pretty quick, if one know how

If I get a moment of spare time the next days I will add an entry to the

[NTG-context] TABLE feature wishes
Hi again, as dicussed some time ago, here comes the reminder of what context lacks concerning table typesetting. I will concentrate on \bTABLE .. \eTABLE, since it is much more powerful than the older ones (and I do not know much about linetables). In order to be able to typeset tables with satisfactory results, I personally need at least the following missing features: - Control over horizontal cell spacing and vertical row spacing, independently of each other. This can not be done currently, since the rulethickness parameter affects all frames of a cell. - Better support for horizontal rules, without affecting the actual cells. I would like to say e.g. \HL between rows to get a line. A command to span just a selection of columns is also necessary. Although I have tricked TABLE into doing what I want with dummy rows and metapost graphics, this is not a very nice solution. Concerning rules, I would suggest further options like trimming, but maybe this can be postponed to prevent this message from becoming too lengthy. For those interested, my ideal table in this respect is what the latex booktabs package provides: ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/booktabs/booktabs.pdf. In addition, it would be highly desirable to have the possibility - to insert material before and after the entry of a cell, eg have \bTD[before=(,after=)]x\eTD typeset (x). - to have hooks which do something with entries, eg \bTD[hook=\framed]x\eTD gives a framed x. How are the chances that the above will be supported by context in the near future, or ever?

This does something at least similar to what I had in mind :-)
Problems:
- As soon a page break is involved, the balancing algorithm gets totally
confused. For example, the code above gives me three pages, with a
single cell on the second one. The head is repeated only on the third
page.
- How can I make a column break trigger head repetition instead of a
page break?
- How to get the footer repeated at the end of each column, too?
Furthermore, there are some old messages concerning captions for
multipage tables, but I could not find a satisfactory answer. How can I
get a caption on the first page and something like "Table x cont." on
the following ones?
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Using latex font-packages
Hello Hans, thanks for the fast answer! I am trying to use latex fonts (to be more precize: the allrunes font) downloaded from the what files do those fonts come with: tfm vf afm pfb enc map I have 16 different .tfm files. But also a lot of .mf files. forget about the latex macros, they are not needed OK, but how do I get context to use these fonts? I coulnd't find any descent documentation regarding this.

[NTG-context] Czech sorting rules
Hello,
I've tried to find something relevant about the terrible Czech sorting :-)
The first thing to note is that there is a standard (from 1970 or so) that
is not implementable in fact, it requires such stupid sorts like Karel IV <
Karel III as one should sort it as the numbers were written in words
(ctvrty, treti) :-)
So in practice, there are more-or-less accurate approximations. Quite good
intro is http://www.vitsoft.info/sortkit.htm
The sorting is considered very reasonable if it conforms with order stated
in http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/cssort.table . Characters on
a single line in the table are considered equivalent. Note the `ch'
character that is sorted between h and i. This table contains accented
letters that are not used in Czech (like crossed l, z dot above). It should
IMHO be also completely OK for Slovak (as they, I hope, inherited the
standard).
I think that it would be completely OK to sort according to that table
taking chars on single lines as equivalent. The modules the table is from
implements a four-pass sorting algorithm that reflects pretty damn rules,
see http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/csort.c .
An example of sorted sequences is
http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/sort.tab .
The question is if it is reasonable to implement it internally in ConTeXt
or to use an external module. An external Perl module was prepared by Tom
Hudec once (he even modified the sorting table, he preferred all letters
with `hacek (\v{})' to be greater than without \v. If you consider
internal ConTeXt implementation feasible, I'd be happy if you commented the
sorting macros a bit, so that I could contact native Czech users and
fine-tune it. I'd like to consult it with our Czech TeX frieds, I don't
feel myself to be a sorting expert (it's quite tricky, isn't it).
Thanks,
D.A.

Re: [NTG-context] Presentation
It's probably the problem I had of a strange character inserted before.
Try to open the file with some editor (BBedit, Jedit) and to see if there is a strange character).
If so, then it won't compile. That's ok: it depends on other things. You can refer to the previous mails in the thread.

Hi, Jessica
The context/base has so many modules s-pre-**.tex. At
the end of the module you have the examples are given.
copy the examples in seperate file and add the module
no name from with the example was taken.
\usemodule[pre-**]
and compile the files. iam sure you can select your
flavour. you can also tweat the colors to suit your
requirement.
thanks
